It’s time for another Teacher Tidbit Tuesday and this week we’re featuring Jeff Gott!
Jeff grew up in GCISD and had the wonderful experience of attending HMS during its first three years. It was fun to have Linda Tidmore, the former CTMS principal, as his assistant principal at HMS while he was a student. He loved being involved in athletics, especially playing football, and truly enjoyed his time studying social studies and math too! GCISD is a family affair, as his mom is a teacher at the ECDC!
Mr. Gott attended Texas A&M, and still sports the maroon on college shirt days.
Jeff and Katy have been married for 15 years, and have two amazing kids, Graham and Gracie, along with two cats, Birdy and Quinn. He enjoys watching football (he can be found yelling at his tv during Bears games), traveling, cooking, videography (he’s made our amazing pep rally videos), and photography (this librarian/amateur photographer wasn’t nervous AATT AALLLLL to be behind the camera to take his photo…)
Jeff’s favorite thing about CTMS is “being in a place where I can make a difference in kid's lives daily.”
A fun tidbit about Jeff is that in 1995, he was a 9th grader at Grapevine Jr. High, which is now the CTMS building, before CHHS opened in 1996. At that time, GJHS served as the 9th grade center prior to the opening of CHHS. He taught and coached current teachers, Coach Davis and Mr. Myers, when he previously taught and coached at CTMS in 2008-2011.
We are so thankful that Jeff found his way back to the Wolfpack, and is willing to share his amazing talents with our community.

It’s time for another Teacher Tidbit Tuesday and today we’re featuring Ellen Hunter!
Ellen is from Toledo, OH. In school she participated in Student Government, tennis, and had a paper route 7 days a week to earn money.
Ms. Hunter attended Ohio State University, but if you ask her she calls it THE Ohio State University. She has been married for 33 years, and they have two sons in their 20s and one dog.
She enjoys walking her dog, playing tennis, biking, reading, and skiing.
Ms. Hunter joined our Wolfpack this year and teaches 7th grade CCR and 8th grade Business. Her favorite thing about being at CTMS is that “the staff is so nice and supportive [and the] students are great!”
A fun tidbit is that she loves to dance! The picture below is from Red Ribbon Week when she dressed as Taylor Swift. Ms. Hunter has been such a fun addition to our Pack and we’re so thankful she’s here.
6th grader Jordy demonstrates how art students are doing a snowy landscape. Point and squirt!
